Trump, before mourning Jackson’s death, wrote that it was “disgraceful that a person illegally in our country” was responsible for it, and urged Democrats to “get tough on the border,” a reference to ongoing talks over immigration policy.

So disgraceful that a person illegally in our country killed @Colts linebacker Edwin Jackson. This is just one of many such preventable tragedies. We must get the Dems to get tough on the Border, and with illegal immigration, FAST!

Jackson, 26, and Monroe, 54, were standing by the side of Monroe’s car on the side of the road when they were struck by another vehicle. The driver of that vehicle attempted to flee on foot, but was caught and arrested by police. Police said the suspect had a blood-alcohol level nearly three times the legal limit.

They later identified him as Orrego-Savala, a 37-year-old from Guatemala who had twice been deported – first in 2007, then again in 2009 after arrests in California.
